How did Amore get started?

After an idle conversation that led to serious brainstorming between two of our founders – NayyerHussain and Yasser Ali – Amore was conceptualized. When Master Gelatiere Costanzo Malatto came on board with his skills and recipes Amore received the heart that was to spread love through its delicious gelato. We set up our first outlet in March 2006 at Carter Road, Bandra, Mumbai. It is one of our highest grossing outlets in the chain, still serving gelato with the same fervor.

What is the inspiration behind Amore Gelato?

The inspiration behind Amore is the passion shared by our founders NayyerHussain, Yasser Ali and Master Chef Costanzo Malatto to bring to India not just authentic Italian gelato but gelato made in the traditional and artisanal way. Amore in Italian means love. This is an essential ingredient in our gelato when we persevere to keep it fresh and untouched by any artificial additives; this is an unmistakable expression on our faces when we serve gelato with a smile at our outlets. One could say it is our passion to serve the best gelato that we draw our inspiration from.

How many Amore outlets are in operation and where are they located?

Currently, we have 23 outlets in India of which 14 are in Mumbai, 6 in Hyderabad, 2 in Ahmedabad and 1 in Surat.

When did Amore start franchising?

We have grown our business organically for the last 3 years and only recently, we set out to become a national brand. It is just in the recent past that we have added franchising as one of our models for expansion.

How does Gelato differ from ice cream?

By regulations of FDA, for a frozen dessert to be qualified as a gelato, its fat content should be less than 10%. Amore Gelato has fat content around 3% (depending on the flavor). Also gelato is served at a temperature higher than that at which ice-cream is served, which enables it to melt easily in your mouth imparting a flavor much stronger than ice-cream and preventing brain-freeze.

Amore also offers sorbettos which have a water base and hence are completely fat-free.

Our gelatos and sorbettos are made fresh daily to skip the necessity of adding any preservatives. So the gelato you enjoy is not only delicious but also healthy.

Who is Amore Gelato’s target market?
